Donald Trump has been a name that has been on many people's lips in the last few weeks, thanks to his not so welcoming comments on Muslims. A debate was recently held at Westminster Hall, where they discussed about the US Presidential candidate.
His comments on banning Muslims from entering the US caused a global outrage, so much so that over 500,000 signatures were garnered in the UK to ban him from entering the United Kingdom.
The Prime Minister deemed Trump's comments as “divisive, stupid and wrong”, yet he rejected calls to have him barred from the UK.
On the other hand, a Muslim Labour MP, Tulip Siddiq, is for the ban. The 33-year-old MP stated, “The Home Office has previous in banning hate preachers engaging in rhetoric similar to that of Trump. To argue with there is no precedent for banning him does not stand up to decisions taken by this Home Secretary, or indeed previous Labour home secretaries. The real question is 'Why should we make an exception for billionaire politicians? We should not.”
